| receptaculum ganglii petrosi | A small and often only faintly marked depression on the inferior surface of the petrous portion of the temporal bone, between the jugular fossa and the opening of the carotid canal; here opens the canaliculus tympanicus transmitting the tympanic nerve. Synonym: fossula petrosa, petrosal fossa, receptaculum ganglii petrosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars inferior ganglii vestibularis | The lower part of the vestibular ganglion that receives fibres from the macula of the saccule and the ampulla of the posterior saemicircular duct. Synonym: pars inferior ganglii vestibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars superior ganglii vestibularis | Rostral part, the superior part of the vestibular ganglion that receives fibres from the maculae of the utricle and the saccule and the ampullae of the anterior and lateral saemicircular ducts. Synonym: pars superior ganglii vestibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| annulus ciliaris | <anatomy> Tissue that includes the group of muscles that act on the eye lens to produce accommodation and the arterial circle of the iris. The inner ciliary epithelium is continuous with the pigmented retinal epithelium, the outer ciliary epithelium secretes the aqueous humour. (18 Nov 1997) |
| arteria ciliaris anterior | <anatomy, artery> One of several arteries derived from muscular branches of the ophthalmic which perforate the anterior part of the sclera and anastomose with posterior ciliary arteries. Synonym: arteria ciliaris anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria ciliaris posterior brevis | <anatomy, artery> One of approximately seven branches of the ophthalmic artery which pass around the optic nerve to supply the eyeball. Dividing into some 15-20 branches, they penetrate the sclera adjacent to the optic nerve, supplying the choroid and ciliary processes. Anastomoses: with central retinal artery and long and anterior ciliary arteries (at the ora serrata). Synonym: arteria ciliaris posterior brevis. (05 Mar 2000) |
